Terberger since 2003 corresponding and since 2014 a full member of the German Archaeological Institute , was 2003-2009 president of the Archaeological Society of Mecklenburg and Vorpommern and serves on the board of the European Society for the Study of the Human Evolution eV (European Society for the Study of Human Evolution ) on. His work focuses on the Paleolithic of Central Europe, the Stone Age in the Baltic Sea region, Stone Age human remains and research into the beginnings of violence and war.

Terberger became known nationwide when he triggered the unmasking of the anthropologist Reiner Protsch in 2001 , who had forged radiocarbon dating of allegedly Paleolithic human remains. Since 2008, together with Detlef Jantzen, he has been leading research on the significant remains of a Bronze Age violent conflict in the Tollensetal in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ( battlefield in the Tollensetal ). Since 2012, he and colleagues have been conducting new research at the Mesolithic burial site in Groß Fredenwalde in the Uckermark in Brandenburg. In 2016 he was able to present remarkable graves from this site.
